Desirable Position: I'm seeking a postdoctoral position or
lectureship in science education, chemistry, or chemical
engineering. It is highly desirable that the position balances
teaching and research responsibility evenly . An ideal research
position would include an emphasis on clean and environmentally
friendly synthesis of new or retro-fitted materials.

Career Goal: Ultimately, I would like to focus on teaching
chemistry or material science at a small liberal art college
dedicated to providing its students with a broad, rich, and
personal educational experience.

Professional Profile: Ph.D. "Interactions of Ionic Liquids
with Microorganisms, Enzymes, and Polymers," Queen's University
Ionic Liquids Laboratory, School of Chemistry and Chemical
Engineering, the Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland,
UK Supervisor: Kenneth R. Seddon. US Citizen.

On September 20, 2010, Laura A. Anderson, Ph.D. began work with
Mchael A. Gonzalez as a ORISE post-doctoral research assistant at
the EPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory. Her project
will focus on finding alternative synthetic routes of
commercially important products primarily using a spinning
tube-in-tube reactor. The reactor has the advantage of a
highly mixed reaction stream to allow for faster reaction rates and
is a continous flow reactor which decreases the amount of waste
produced.

Professional Profile: Ph.D. synthetic organic chemist with
experience in multi-step synthesis and purification of organic
molecules. Able to shift strategies in order to study the overall
reaction or idea of interest.
